Economy

Relax in Air New Zealand’s comfortable, ergonomically designed seats and explore the wide range of touch-screen entertainment options and enjoy the famous onboard Kiwi service.

A unique feature offered on the Boeing 777–300 aircraft is the Economy Skycouch™ which is a set of three seats that transform into a flat space. Footrests are raised to an even position with the seat cushion to offer a total flat space that measures 74cm (29”) wide – the perfect amount of space to lie down and stretch out.

Key Features:

The slimline seat-back enhances the feeling of space. Sculpted upholstering and a flexible headrest provide greater levels of comfort.

Entertainment facilities include a 9” HD capacitive touch screen, shared in-seat power and a USB connection.

Premium Economy

Premium Economy is available on flights operated by Boeing 777-200 and 777-300 aircraft. With generous legroom, extra seat recline, a full leg rest and other luxuries this class of travel is a cut above.

Premium Economy Spaceseat on the 777-300 brings state-of-the-art, generously appointed seats to new levels. These seats are fitted within a shell like enclosure and set at a slight angle. The cleverly designed angled seats have the dual function of maximising privacy or allowing for more open space when travelling with a companion. When in the reclined position, the seat stays within the confines of its shell to prevent the person seated in front from intruding on the personal space of those seated behind.

Key Features:

A customised, luxury, leather seat that includes individual armrests, a leg rest and an extendable foot support.

Business Premier

Flying Business Premier™ ensures you receive the very best of everything Air New Zealand has to offer. Featuring the signature, lie-flat bed, one of the longest lie-flat beds in the sky, along with an indulgent memory foam mattress, cosy duvet and two full size pillows. All beds have direct aisle access and recline to any position. The ottoman footrest even doubles as a visitor’s seat for meal times or a quick catch up. Business Premier™ travellers are treated to an unforgettable culinary experience. World renowned Kiwi chef, Peter Gordon has developed a mouth-watering menu full of fresh innovative creations – from hotcakes for breakfast to char-sui duck for dinner. And, of course, there’s an extensive selection of premium New Zealand wines to complement all meals.

Carry-on

Cabin baggage is restricted to one item in economy class with a maximum weight of 7kg (15lbs). Guests in Premium Economy and Business Premier as well as Air New Zealand and Star Alliance elite members are permitted two pieces with a maximum combined weight of 14kg (30lbs). In addition to these allowances, one small personal item may be taken on board such as a handbag or thin laptop bag, duty free items, or a coat.

Laptops carried in larger bags or wider computer bags will be considered one piece of cabin baggage and not a personal item.

Checked Baggage

Air New Zealand’s checked baggage allowance is determined by fare type for Australia, Pacific Islands (including Honolulu) and Bali flights. The allowances are as follows:

Seat only – no bag allowance

Seat + Bag – 1 piece at 23kg maximum (50lbs)

The Works – 1 piece at 23kg maximum (50lbs)

Works Deluxe – 2 pieces at 23kg (50lbs) each

Premium Economy – 2 pieces at 23kg (50lbs) each

Business – 3 pieces at 23kg (50lbs) each

Checked baggage allowances for long haul flights to Asia (not including Bali), North America and London correspond with Seat + Bag for economy and Premium Economy and Business allowances as shown above.

Business fares, Gold and Elite members are allowed one additional bag to the standard allowances

Bulky Items

Sports items such as bicycles, surfboards, snow skis and snowboards, golf clubs and wind surf equipment are permitted as part of the standard baggage allowance if less than 2 metres in length and under 23kg (50lbs) in weight. Bags weighing over 23kg will be charged a heavy bag fee, while those that exceed linear dimensions of 158 cm will be charged an oversize fee.

Any bag weighing more than 32kg will not be accepted and may have to be sent as freight

Infant Baggage

Infants are allowed one piece of cabin baggage but do not receive a checked baggage allowance. Strollers and car seats however are accepted free of charge. Children 2 years and above are permitted the standard baggage allowance depending on fare type.

Buying a cheap collapsible stroller is a great idea for travel as they are small and light enough to be taken in the cabin

Restricted or Dangerous Goods

Those items that may endanger the safe operation of flight such as flammable items, explosives, fireworks, poisons, toxic materials and gasoline powered machines are never permitted. For a specific list of restricted items ask your Flight Centre Travel Consultant.

Some batteries such as those for electric wheelchairs may be permitted in the cabin. Ask your airline for specific travel advice on proper procedures for carriage.
